Case Study: UNITE Student Living achieves optimized performance and seamless scalability with Edgenexus ALB-X

UNITE Choose Edgenexus Load Balancing Technology Over Competition For Advanced Traffic Management, Superb Value & Exceptional Technical Support

UNITE Student Living, the UK’s leading student accommodation provider housing 42,000 students across 130+ properties, chose Edgenexus to support a move to insource hosting for its corporate and student‑facing websites. UNITE Student Living needed a flexible, reliable load‑balancer with advanced traffic management, SSL offload and custom health checks, and selected the Edgenexus ALB‑X (VA/appliance) for its feature set, price‑performance and support.

Edgenexus deployed a failover pair of ALB‑X appliances in UNITE Student Living’s London datacentre and used the flightPATH rule engine for domain redirects, SSL enforcement and traffic routing, plus caching and optimisation. The Edgenexus solution delivered optimized performance, seamless scalability for peak student demand, improved resilience and a better end‑user experience, giving UNITE Student Living a future‑proof platform and strong technical support.
